  • I hate my HOA except that it's the only thing from keeping my neighbor from filling his yard up with garbage and junk cars. My bar is low, but it's above that. We live too close for that kinda shit.

  • Our electoral system is trash, designed in a way that disproportionately favors groups willing to compromise and coalesce behind a single candidate. If we split the vote by voting our conscience while the "other side" consolidates behind a single candidate, we're at a serious disadvantage. The core issue is how the public is ignorant, or worse, misinformed and confident (made easier by ignorance). This is a failure of our education system, a system that's been declining for decades. Not a lot I can do, I was born into this.

    As just one cog in the machine, my power is limited. If I see a close race between two candidates, with others trailing far behind, I'm compelled to compromise for what I believe is the better outcome. If you prioritize supporting a third party, or if you genuinely see both leading candidates as equally shit, then by all means, vote third party. We all have our priorities. However, I do resent being judged for making pragmatic compromises to cause some change, as mild as it may be.

  • You decrease the value of your vote when you write in yourself every time. Do you really have to agree with 100% of what anyone says? I'd have to write myself in if that was true.

  • I think they have a live usb that you can boot into to see if the issues are still occurring there to try and rule out hardware. Would probably be my first go-to. If that works well, probably backup, wipe, follow the framework guide for your OS, and hopefully that does it. :)
